[script] Analyse RSA vs ETA ads
A script by Frederick Vallaeys to test if Responsive Search Ads are helping or hurting your campaigns at query level.
RSA (Responsive Search Ads) are neither good or bad, it all depends how you write the texts for the multiple fields. Which means a shitty ad fields will lead to a shitty ad copy combo. Sometimes it performs worse than the classical ETA.
The recommendation is one of four things:
- If the ad group has no RSAs, it recommends testing RSAs
- If the ad group has no ETAs, it recommends testing ETAs
- If the RSA is converting worse, it suggests moving the query into a SKAG with the existing ETA and testing some new RSA variations
- If the RSA is converting better, it suggests moving the query into a SKAG with the existing RSA and testing some new ETA variations

Fleets will also have a limit of 280 characters, like regular tweets, with the option to add images, videos, or GIFs, but users won’t be able to retweet, like, or publicly reply.
